Exact same thing happened to me today. I had three instances of xfce4 -xfapplet-plugin visible in system monitor. Killing the two who used the most CPU time did not affect any of the applets. CPU usage was near 100% when they were running but dropped to normal after I killed the processes.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (installed xubuntu desktop lately and running xfce now) 64bit. $ dpkg -l xfce4-panel Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii xfce4-panel 4.4.2-6ubuntu2 The Xfce4 desktop environment panel $ dpkg -l xfce4-xfapplet-plugin Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-======================================== I use Gnome applets for sensors-applet (2.2.1) and Weather Report (2.24.1). -- xfce4-xfapplet-plugin uses nearly 100% of CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
